This… is actually kind of exciting. Two massive studios (potentially) showing they also feel that the current AAA space is saturated with boring, soulless, samey games, year after year.
Microsoft and Activision have formed a new team within Blizzard to work on smaller 'AA' games based on existing IP

Maybe they could make an action game like Devil May Cry but with something like a rhythm game element to it. Do they have any existing IP that that could fit? Or a team that could make it?

Best I can do is Overwatch themed Candy Crush.

The article says that the “new” group is just mostly King employees, and they will basically be working on Activision/Blizzard IP, it doesn’t say anything about them working on general Microsoft IP. It is likely Activitions massive back catalogue may finally have some games make a comeback.

I know. I was being facetious. What this headline actually gives me hope for is a new Metal Arms, but I need to temper my expectations.
